Instructions

Perfect Egg Sandwich

  1. Cook the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot with boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and place in cold water (or with ice). Let cool for 1 minute, peel carefully, and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Sandwich: On a plate, place a slice of toasted whole-grain bread, 2 slices of cooked ham, and 3 slices of meia-cura cheese. Use a kitchen torch to melt and brown the cheese slightly.

  3. Assemble: Use the back of a spoon to press the center of the bread to create a "well" and place the boiled egg in it. Season with salt to taste, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve with homemade mayonnaise.

Homemade Mayonnaise

  1. Blend: In a blender, combine the raw egg, mustard, vinegar, oil, water, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend for 30 seconds.

  2. Add Oil: With the blender running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream until you achieve the desired mayonnaise consistency.
